Default Special Edition StopTech's?

Hi Guys,
I was kicking this idea around with my team today. Everyone has a special edition 'something' these days. I really like some of these items...like the Volk Time Attack's. Would anybody want a special edition brake setup? We could do something like the time attacks...black with red logo, etc. What other colors would people want?

I just want to get some feedback from current owners. Since I sold my 350Z (I know, I'm a traitor ), I've been a bit out of touch with the market. Let me know what you think. What do you want that we don't currently offer? Thanks.

I think you should do it, it would def be a hot buy. How much of a diff would the pricing compared to regular Stop-Tech BBK's?

Ya, the caliper would look awsome! However, I'm not sure it would look good in combination with a wide variety of wheel colors and finishes.

I think the black caliper with red logo would look good with a wider variety of wheels.

Just my .

nah...not really worth it from a marketing perspective.

target market would be slim...people who buy Stoptechs are more into performance than looks. those who want looks, will go to a private powdercoater.

powdercoating costs $300-400 more. if you can it for less, might be worth it.....but you already have black calipers.

black calipers with red logo can be done with a can of spraypaint or vinyl.

special edition Hypercolor-changing calipers.

depending on what temperature it changes color, so you know how hard you're using the brakes.

Hahaha...for the record, my name is Jeff Ritter. Yes, I had a silver 350Z...one of the first ever produced actually (#399). I never owned an Xterra, or any SUV for that matter. I now drive a yellow C5 Z06.

Thanks for the ideas guys...keep 'em coming.
